Always remember: talking about 90’s grunge bands today is the same as talking about the early Beatles in 1996 💀
“My dad listens to that stuff”
Such savagery
No, early 2000s are the classics
Some songs just are classics the second they are released
Not a teenager. If you’ve kept up at all on music and listened to the stuff we did in the 90s, yeah it holds up great, but holy shit does a lot of it sound old in comparison. Like bowling for soup’s 1985 released in 2005 was only 20 years, but it has been 21 years since 2005. Time goes on, the pile of backlog gets taller.
Watch, read, listen, do as much as you can in this life you have, it’s the only one you get. Even if you’re religious and believe in an afterlife… You don’t know you’re right, you have to take it on faith. So hedge a little bit and live your damn life like there’s no afterlife.
…That doesn’t mean fucking dead deer, though.
Watch, read, listen, do as much as you can in this life you have, it’s the only one you get
Imagine saying that in a shitpost community
My daughter has a vintage clothing store.
Early 2000s is considered vintage.
Just pull the life support plug now please.
Well in the 90s, the 70s were vintage as well. I think 20 years is starting to get pretty vintage, maybe going back 100 years is also vintage? It’s not ancient tho
I don’t understand why this is an issue. I refer to it as classics too. It’s all music from my childhood as I’m from the 80s. Modern music can not compete.
When I was a kid in the 70s, Grease was huge, glamorizing 1950s “oldies” music like it was from some long-ago era. That’s only 20 years. That’s like glamorizing music from 2006 today. The 90s are definitely “classic rock” now. Trippy.
What people who were kids in the 70s are still ALIVE?! /s
The only part that makes your comparison absurd is the fact that there’s nothing special about 2006.
In your head, right now, imagine the 1950s. There’s a distinct style you’re seeing, isn’t there?
Now picture 2006. How is the image any different than today, besides the cars today being computers on wheels?
We would be glorifing 2006, if there was anything worthwhile about it.

emo kids and hip hop of the era. frosted tips, lots of hairgel.
there was a lot of stuff that was different back then. The stuff that was fun was also in its infancy.
You could really get a home loan too.

No smartphones, or at least they weren’t common. (I was a weirdo who carried a PDA everywhere)
Which probably explains why vintage turn of the century tech is becoming popular.
You’re right, the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s all had distinct styles. That started fading in the 90s, and unless you look closely, the nearly three decades since are all very similar.
I think we can rightly blame capitalism for homogenizing our culture, and spreading it around the world. And, even if we can’t, I still will, and also fuck Mark Zuckerberg just because I haven’t said it yet today.
You aren’t seeing thö right thing. We just spread out into subcultures
You don’t sound very Xtreme!
The 90s had a very distinct style just like the other decades you mentioned - grunge. Then going into 2000s it was crap like Pink and Avril
The worst part?
We are not teenagers anymore
That was me watching that Apple TV show Invasion. In the first episode, a kid has headphones on and someone asks what he’s listening to. He says something like “oh just some classic music”… and it’s Green Day…
But then I remember Dookie came out over 30 years ago and I cry again lol
Some say it’s old, but it’s still gold. Dookie was a classic when it was released, and people nowadays have realized that.
A kid once said to me “well you were born in the 1900s…”
I’ve seen some people also refer to 90s as 1900s right here. But maybe we’re a 100 years old vampire, we never know.
it’s like the 20th century
Red Hot Chili Peppers, the band, has existed for 44 years.
I’m reminded of this every time I spot Flea in Back to The Future (Needles), which itself is 41 years old.
I was there when Siamese Dream was released. I was there, man.
I don’t mind because I see more kids wearing clothes with “classic” bands like Sublime and Soundgarden and Nirvana and Biggie than bands that were “classics” when I was in high school
People thought I was weird for liking Zeppelin in the 90s.
I see a ton of kids wearing Nivrana shirts, but not sure if it’s actually because they know who they are, or they just like the shirt (it’s always the same shirt).
I see a lot of Nirvana shirts on the youth and I’m never sure if they like the band or just the shirt, either.
I did see a blue-haired youth with a My Chemical Romance shirt the other day and I’m pretty sure they were a sincere fan, though.
Most kids are slightly smarter than you think. Some kids are dumber, a lot dumber.
Even if they don’t know what it is they keep it alive, which is the true importance.
I think you’re weird for liking Zeppelin, in 2026.
Yeah, they had teenage girls on their plane.
And, yeah, The Kinks are better in most regards.
But I’ve moved on and honestly don’t listen to much Zeppelin anymore.
What do you expect, listening to music from the previous century?
To be fair, the 90s were awesome.
This whole century has sucked since 9/11
The 90s weren’t awesome – they just didn’t suck. (For most people.)
I was born in the early 80s. I was just at the point of being a kid who can remember things around 1990. By 2000 I think I was 16. I was 2 weeks shy of being 18 when 9/11 happened.
So from my perspective the 90s are the only decade I can remember that didn’t suck, which makes it awesome!
I love using this phrase like so. You might even say, “the previous millenia”!
